[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1287894, member: 91090"] First thing. Anytime you get a new die first thing you should do is disassemble it.and clean it good with gun cleaning solvent. Hoppes #9 is a good one for.that but that is the only cleaning it is good for. Is the tip of the seating stem where it contacts the bullet dinged up? If so call forsters and have them send you another seater stem. Pics would help. Is the die scratching your brass? Personally i start about mid range of the reccomended loads. You aren't going to use those low loads anyway. And i go one load past max. May not shoot it. Every barrel is different. You just have to watch your pressure signs. For me it is primers, ejector swipes and sticky bolts. I shoot most of my range rifles with a .010 to .020 jam. Starting right at the lands is a good spot for a hunting rifle but i am sure you are going to want to find a mag length load eventually. Do the berger seating depth after you find your load and you will have a mag length load. After that you can fine tune your load [/QUOTE]
